Conventionally, a slot machine as a gaming machine is provided with three stop buttons corresponding to three rotary reels, a start lever, and three rotary reels. The player inserts 1 to 3 medals as game media, operates the start lever to rotate the three rotating reels, sequentially operates the three stop buttons to sequentially stop the rotating reels 1 Do the game of times. A plurality of types of symbols (for example, 21 symbols such as “7”, “BAR”, “Bell”, “Cherry”, “Replay”) are represented on the outer peripheral surface of each rotating reel. By rotating, a plurality of game symbols are variably displayed at high speed via a symbol display window formed on the display panel on the front surface of the slot machine.
[0003]
When the three reels stop rotating due to the stop operation of the three stop buttons, the symbols displayed on the winning line that are valid according to the number of inserted medals out of the symbols displayed in the symbol display window with the variable stop. Combination modes include a big hit mode (a mode in which three “7” s are aligned), a small hit mode (a mode in which three “BARs” are aligned), a small role mode (a mode in which three “Bells” are aligned), a replay mode (“ A mode in which three “replay symbols” are gathered), an off mode, or the like. By the way, since the game contents and game themes differ depending on the model of the slot machine, various decorative panels on the front surface of the slot machine, multiple types of symbols represented on the reels, and further, the control contents of the game control are different. .
[0004]
In other words, when changing the model of a slot machine that is currently in operation, that is, when opening a new store, the slot machine itself is basically changed. This is disadvantageous in terms of work and cost. Therefore, in the gaming facility described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-23134, an interior unit such as a symbol rotation unit and a control board case and an exterior component such as a symbol display panel are incorporated in a rectangular frame, and a mounting unit is configured. Since the mounting unit is mounted on the upper half of the door body, when changing the model, the mounting unit and the decorative display panel can be easily replaced after removing the connection cable (for example, Patent Documents). 1).
[0005]
In addition, in the slot machine described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-52525, an upper door is pivotally attached to the upper half of the main body box, and a lower door is pivotally attached to the lower half of the main body box. The reel device and the main board are integrally mounted. Therefore, when changing the model, after removing the connection cable, only the upper door can be removed from the main body box and replaced. At this time, the decorative panel detachably attached to the lower door is also replaced at the same time (for example, see Patent Document 2).
